I'm truly stumped on this one.

I think not.

Remember his son offered Kasich the VP slot, so Kasich would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy while trump "made America great again"? That's what Pence can be expected to do, I guess!

(16,829 posts)He is poorly informed, arrogant, and erratic. I don't think his idea of trying to be a really good president would result in anything good for the 99%. Its going to result in enriching a few people. That's if he is 'effective' in getting the things he wants.
By "if he doesn't" do you mean if he leaves it all to Pence and his other sidekicks?
Based on his history of lying and business failures, he's going to claim success no matter what happens.
